Tag: tagging
Lately Amazon has been introducing a raft of ‘web 2.0’ features to its e-commerce website. In this post we explore how Amazon has implemented tagging, Ajax, blogs and wikis – and ask whether it’s made much difference to the user experience, and to the bottom line.
will be interesting to watch if all the 2.0 stuff will increase sales
more precise tags interspersed with ‘regular’ tags. formalizing the geo:lat etc stuff. smart!
I sat next to Cory at a conference today. It was like playing basketball next to Michael Jordan. Cory was looking at more than 30 screens a minute. He was bouncing from his mail to his calendar to a travel site and then back. His fingers were a blur as he processed inbound mail, visiting more than 12 sites in the amount of time it took for my neck to cramp up. I’m very fast, but Cory is in a different league entirely.
a toolkit to visualize text (well, tags) geographically on a map. Check out the sample applications, where we use Flickr tags on a map to build a world exploration tool.
very very cool!
Wordie lets you make lists of words — practical lists, words you love, words you hate, whatever. You can then see who else has listed the same words, and talk about it. It’s more fun than it sounds.
this is a cute idea. collaborative wordsmithing. it will be interesting to watch whether this helps at all with the coinage process
not sure why georss felt it had to reinvent categories. par for the course in the rss space i suppose
you may have noticed that this blog is far less active than it used to be. i blame del.icio.us. the opportunity to write pithy one-liners instead of rambling posts is just too attractive. if you want to enjoy those, either join my network (preferred, i like to know who enjoys my stuff) or subscribe to my del.icio.us feed, or both.
i also went ahead and added tags on here. You can now read all posts tagged with science. i also blend in the appropriate del.icio.us results at the bottom.
if you are feed-challenged, you can also follow the latest del.icio.us links on the side bar on my blog. otherwise, i recommend google reader.
A simple CGI script for converting entry keywords into native tags in MT 3.3+
i wonder how much traction this “del.icio.us for scientists” has already. certainly an idea along the lines of KK’s technium.
an email archiving/tagging bot. You cc or forward it email with one or more tags, or one-word keywords. It reads the email, extracts addresses and URLs from it, and stores the results in an rdfobj model with metadata about the mail’s creators and receiver
